Sandals Barbados

Beautiful property, .well maintained gardens. Needs better lighting of paths at night. Our room was very convenient to most places we used. Our room attendant, Janice looked after our needs and kept the room clean and well serviced. Sean, spelled differently, was fantastic on the glass bottom boat tour. The captain gave us his knowledge of places we passed. We really enjoyed that boat trip. The food ,for the most part was delicious. Be sure to try the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding in the Monkey pub. We visited the coffee shop often. My morning cappuccino was great. We would visit this property again for sure.

I visited Sandals Barbados for my honeymoon. This was my first visit to a Sandals resort and I was expecting great things. Our experience did not start very well, we had to wait nearly an hour for the transfer as other guests were arriving from America. We were just left with a bottle of water and not updated as to why we had to wait. As another reviewer has said, we did not have hot water for showering/bathing in the room. The water was like warm at best. We informed both Sandals and Virgin but this was not resolved during our stay. Upon reading another review I see that they were moved to Sandals Royal, this was never offered to us. Service was very disappointing and some of our meals in Butch's were vey below the standard that I was expecting. Ordered Steak Diane with Fries and just received a steak (no Diane or Fries!!) it's not difficult! I could mention quite a lot more but this is just an example of the service received. It would be good if the bars and restaurants had drinks menus. We were told that these were not present. Sometimes I don't know what it is that I want or what is on offer. The beach was nothing like the brochures. The pictures show 30 to 40 sunbeds when the reality is actually 300 to 400. On a positive note, our room maid was very pleasant and did an excellent job.

We were there the first week of June w 3 couples - stayed in the Crystal Lagoon Swim Up room w Patio Tranquility soaking tub. This is the 3rd Sandals trip with this group - and this has been our favorite room. Just being able to swim out and meet everyone to hang out in our own private pool. Used mostly at night for a last few drinks, but one day ordered room service lunch and just had a great time. Make your dinner reservations the first day - you can only reserve La Parisienne and Butchs once a week (you can try to squeeze in that day if any openings ) - but those are a MUST! But anywhere we ate, we had a great time. We stumbled upon Bombay for a breakfast buffet - WOW what a hidden gem. Never crowded, the server Rhonda was amazing - she saw us and just pointed to our usual table - brought the drinks and coffee - and food was great. Spa - I did a 90 minute with Abigail....Amazing! This was the BEST massage I have had in a long time. My two friends were also very impressed with their masseuses...normally its a standard nice but forgettable massage at Red Lane Spa - but these ladies knew their craft. My head and feet have never felt so good - and did not tangle my hair either. The pools were very nice - plenty of places to pick from. Even a roottop pool. Now the downside...because of all the seaweed (sargassum) - you could not use the beach. There was a sign saying Sandals was not responsible for guests beyond this point. No water sports - my husband went scuba diving and had to be driven to another part of the island. I like to go to Carrribean resorts for the beautiful blue oceans...this did NOT have that so a big dissapointment. That was my only negative about the whole trip (a big one...floating in the salt water sea is the best), but none the less, we had a great time!

From the time we arrived the fun and enjoyment started. The tranquil views and lovely gardens just say to you come and relax. The food was amazing as well. I really enjoyed my stay as Sandals Barbados Royal.

I enjoyed my stay. Patricia and Alisha started our day at breakfast with a smile and wonderful energy. Melissa and Shaniqua assisted with our transportation. DaShanta in concierge services worked above and beyond for our dinner and night experience. Jason gave us a great send off before we left the resort. As is known, nothing is 100%, but this resort strives for it!
